[SATLUG] Puppy Linux 3.00 and 3.00retro

[nathan at gvtc.com]

For the members following Puppy Linux, 3.00 is now out.  There are two  
versions, a regular and a 'retro' for those that may have problems  
with the latest kernel.

I have tested 3.00 on both my laptop and tower, starting with pfix=ram  
on the laptop since the puppy save files are on hard disk, and  
removing the usb stick from the tower that had the save files on it.   
I then rebooted both and let Puppy do an upgrade.  Every thing seems  
to be working, I do not have a wireless connection point at home, so  
will test that on my laptop while at the Model Train Show at Live Oak  
this week end.

There are a couple of known problems with 3.00, the kernel being the  
biggest one.  We will probably see 3.01 as several fixes and updates  
on other packages come in from the people working with Barry.  I would  
expect this within 6 weeks.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/  is  
where 3.00 is at, it has not made it to the  
http://puppylinux.org/user/downloads.php?cat_id=1 as of 1 PM local  
(SA) time.  Should be there in the next day or so.
